It's an instrumental, just acoustic and electric guitars and nothing else. It is quite possibly the most melodic, emotional, sad, and at the same time beautiful piece of music I have ever heard. One of my favourite songs of all time. I can't stress enough how amazing this song is, give it a listen.

I love the song. Its from Donnie Darko. Its really depressing, And I love Sad and Depressing things (Really, I do).

If you know of any other depressing songs let me know plz!

Have you ever hear the original version of it? It's by Tears for Fears, the guys that did "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" and "Shout." It's not nearly as sad or touching-Jules' cover is much better.

I much prefer the Tears for Fears original - this is true to the lyrics, which are clearly about mental illness - the cover version is just overly sentimental - the sort of thing Americans love (obviously why it was put in the film) and we hate in Britain!!

(Although some younger people are becoming tainted by years of watching Hollywood schmaltz! )
